Notobubon gummiferum (L.) Magee
LC Indigenous Endemic

Morphological description

Slender to robust shrub or small tree, 1.5-5.0 m tall. Stem solitary, sparsely branched above ground level, branches becoming very thick and cane-like, glabrous. Leaves regularly arranged along the upper parts of the branches, (130)200-420 mm x (70)170-340 mm; blade broadly ovate, 3- to 4-pinnate. Ultimate leaflet segments narrowly ovate, 25-40 mm x 12-20 mm, decreasingly pinnatisect; base attenuate; venation pinnate; discolorous, adaxial surface dark green, abaxial surface silvery and glaucous; lobes narrowly oblong to oblong, flat, 5-20 mm x 2-3 mm, margins entire; terminal lobes 2-3 times longer than adjacent lateral lobes. Petioles up to 150 mm long, sheathing at the base only. Inflorescence short (less than 1.5 times as long as the diameter of the primary umbel), with 2-4 lateral umbels. Primary umbel with (18)25-41 rays, orbicular; bracts linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous; rays (53)60-80 mm long, subequal, glabrous; bracteoles linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous, usually shorter than raylets; raylets glabrous. Flowers with sepals minute, 0.1-0.2 mm long, apex obtuse, to acute, glabrous; petals glabrous. Fruit elliptic, 5.5-8.5 mm x 3.0-4.0 mm; mericarps homomorphic; median and lateral ribs slightly prominent; marginal ribs narrowly-winged, thick; commissural vittae broad; vallecular vittae broad; additional vittae under vascular bundles in ribs, similar in size to vallecular vittae.

Small tree, 1.5-5.0 m high. Leaves distichous, discolorous, upper surface dark green, lower surface silvery glaucous. Primary umbel often multiradiate, shortly pedunculate. Flowering time Sept.-Nov. Fruit 5.5-8.5 mm long, outline elliptic, marginal wings thick and narrow, glabrous; vittae 11 in each mericarp (2 in commissure usually very broad). From: Winter, PJD. 2019. Apiaceae.

Like N. tenuifolium but larger shrub or small tree up to 5 m, leaves discolorous, silvery and glaucous below, leaflet lobes broader and more congested. Fruit elliptic, > 5.5 mm long.

Diagnostic description

Notobubon gummiferum differs most obviously from N. sonderi in that it is a large shrub or small tree reaching a height of up to 5 m (N. sonderi is a small decumbent shrub of less than 1 m in height). Furthermore it has a shortly pedunculate inflorescence, very large and multiradiate primary umbel (usually 25-41 rays) and often broader ultimate leaflet segment lobes. It differs from N. tenuifolium in the larger, elliptic fruit (5.5-8.5 mm long), discolorous leaves (adaxial surface dark green, abaxial surface silvery and glaucous) with the lobes of the ultimate leaflet segments broader and more congested.
